Chromatic: WebAssembly-Based Cancer Genome Viewer

Chromatic: WebAssembly-Based Cancer Genome Viewer

Chromatic is a novel web-browser tool that enables researchers to visually inspect genomic variations identified through next-generation sequencing of cancer data sets to determine whether such calls are, in fact, valid. It is the first cancer bioinformatics tool developed using WebAssembly technolo...
